Answer:

c. they enter an electron transport chain.

Explanation:

The chlorophyll in leaves of   plants undergoing photosynthesis is made up of two pigments ; these are  the primary pigments and the accessory pigments. The latter are arranged around the primary pigments.  These two pigments are arranged in chlorophyll  to form photo systems i and ii. The photosystems   serves as the reaction centers of chloroplast. <u>Basically the accessory pigment absorbs  photons of energy and sends this to the  primary pigments.</u>

When photons of light is absorbed by the chlorophyll of the leaf. The electrons  in the chlorophyll  are excited, and  therefore move to higher energy levels. At this stage they are  said to be  activated.  This process is called Photoactivation.

However, instead of the excited electrons to return to the  photo- systems  so that the acquired energy is lost as heat to the surroundings,  these electrons are  trapped by electron acceptors and  are passed to the electron transport chains. These chains of electrons generate proton motive force PMF, for  pumping protons across the thylakoid membranes , down into the thylakoid for  the synthesis of  ATPs by ATPase synthase; through Chemiosmosis.

The ATP is needed in Calvin's Cycle for Carbohydrates synthesis.

If a scientist is studying the evolutionary relationship between two species of birds, what tool could she use to help her chart
meriva

Scientists collect information that allows them to make evolutionary connections between organisms. Similar to detective work, scientists must use evidence to uncover the facts. In the case of phylogeny, evolutionary investigations focus on two types of evidence: morphologic (form and function) and genetic.

Which country's colonists maintained a profitable fur trade in North America
Tom [10]

Answer:

The North American fur trade was an industry and activity related to the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Native Americans in the United States of various regions traded among themselves in the pre–Columbian Era. Europeans participated in the trade from the time of their arrival in the New World, extending the trade's reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada during the 17th century, while the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. North American fur trade was at its peak of economic importance in the 19th century, and involved the development of elaborate trade networks.

The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and consequently lost much of the political influence they once had.
